Gee, aren't I a well of useless knowledge?
Actually, no it wasn't. It was named that because the designer, Sakaguchi, planned to quit after he finished the game. It was going to be his final game for Square.Rashi_tani said:about final fantasy:
it was named that because the company was going to be sold to someone else so they made their "last" game and called it final fantasy.
the game saved the company and they continued the name/theme.
Sakaguchi discusses it here. [http://www.developmag.com/news/28960/Sakaguchi-discusses-the-development-of-Final-Fantasy]
